The War At Home - 1989

The War At Home - 1989 Set in an alternate 1989, where different world events have led to the Cold War turning HOT! This project has been underway since 2014. story. Wish me luck!

I love alternate history, the likes of Harry Turtledove and Robert Conroy, combining that with my love of the 1980s era and how intriguing I find the concept of how close we may have come to an all out war with the USSR has lead me to wanting to make this project. New Zealand to me has always seemed a world away from conflicts, its always something we see on TV or (nowadays anyway) the internet. S

o the idea of bringing the Third World War to Auckland’s doorstep is an idea I’d really like to explore. This is primarily a war drama from the point of view of four people:
Claire Whareaitu - the first female combat pilot in the RNZAF. Michael Whareaitu - a junior naval officer aboard the HMNZS Canterbury
Garry Brewer - a senior officer and commander of the Australian First Armoured Regiment
William Oliver - in charge of the USMC detachment aboard the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier. Each characters is battling his or her own personal struggle contrasting against the main struggle that is taking place around them. The script currently is in a fourth draft and needs further work, while I do that I am putting together promotional scenes taken from the script to put online and publicise the project as much as possible. There will be the New Zealand story, the Australian story and the U.S. It is my hope to try and obtain some form of development funding, and failing that, possibly try and crowdfund a first episode and then put the project on patreon.

The conversion to UE5 of the giant Auckland City model is finally done! This took aaaages, it's the largest model of the entire show. And Ep16 is the first episode to feature the city since the move to Unreal Engine 5 in Episode 11.

Today, we pause in quiet gratitude.

We remember the men and women of Australia and New Zealand who served, suffered, endured, and sacrificed in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. We remember those who left home with courage in their hearts, those who returned forever changed, and those who never came home at all.

ANZAC Day is not a celebration of war. It is a solemn reminder of its cost.

It is the dawn light on a silent beach.
It is the folded letter kept for a lifetime.
It is the empty chair at the family table.
It is the courage of ordinary people asked to face extraordinary things.

To the soldiers, sailors, airmen, nurses, medics, and all who served under the flags of Australia and New Zealand: we honour your bravery, your mateship, your resilience, and your sacrifice.

We remember not only the battles fought, but the lives behind every name. The sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, and friends.

May we carry their memory with humility.
May we strive for peace with the seriousness it deserves.
And may we never forget the price paid by those who stood before us.

Lest we forget.
